Innovation for Impact and for Fun
Our portfolio is a representation of the projects and activities that embody our mission: applying robotics and technology for a positive difference. Whether it is a passion project, such as personalized robotic vehicles, or a humanitarian pursuit inspired by groups like e-NABLE, every project exemplifies creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving in the real world. Here we feature what we have achieved to date and provide an insight into the groundbreaking work that our members are eager to take on next.
RC Plane
This was one of the first projects our team ever built. Using real motors, servos, and other electronics, we designed and assembled a fully functional and reliable RC plane. It laid the foundation for many of our future creations — and proved that with the right skill set and determination, we could create anythining.
Robotic Car
Before the club’s official launch, one of our members independently designed and built a custom, fully 3D-printed remote control car. The project demonstrated not only advanced CAD and fabrication skills but also attention to performance and control, resulting in a vehicle capable of reaching high speeds while maintaining precise maneuverability.
T-Shirt Folder
This project was designed to help inspire STEM in the community. This project was displayed at a Huge Science fair event with numerous amounts of kids, and helped create huge amounts of interest in STEM

Drone
Our members have hands-on experience with drones and developing custom attachments to extend their functionality. We aim to leverage these skills for future projects that combine robotics with real-world problem-solving.
Lemonade Stand
One of our members organized a lemonade stand as a creative way to raise awareness for robotics in our community. This simple yet impactful initiative helped spark conversations about technology, engineering, and how robotics can make a difference in everyday life.

e-nable Prosthetics
Prior to initiating the club, a few of our members had created a number of 3D-printed prosthetic arms based on e-NABLE's designs,that were delivered to the disabled in Uganda, Bangladesh and Pakistan
Nighttime Calming Device
This custom-built solution was designed for an individual with autism who experienced high nighttime activity, disrupting rest. The system used a heat sensor to detect movement after a certain time and then played calming lullabies to promote relaxation. Programmed using Arduino, this device highlights how thoughtful engineering can make a positive difference in everyday life

Sensory table
Our team members designed and built a custom sensory table as part of an Eagle Scout project using Computer Aid Design(CAD) and 3D Printing.The table was created to support children with sensory processing needs and featured a range of tactile and visual elements to encourage interactive exploration. This project highlighted both thoughtful design and hands-on construction, resulting in a meaningful contribution to an inclusive learning environment.
Assistive Robot
One of our current projects is an assistive robot designed to help a paraplegic individual put on their prosthetic legs more easily by himself. By reducing the physical strain of this daily task, the robot aims to support greater independence. We’ve been working closely with the individual to ensure the design is safe, effective, and tailored to their needs—reflecting our team’s commitment to creating robotics with real-world impact.

FIRST Tech Challenge
In addition to our personal projects and community-focused robots, our team also competes in the FIRST Tech Challenge. 2023 marked the first year of competition for most of our members, and although we began with limited experience, we’ve grown tremendously since then. Through hands-on learning, collaboration, and dedication, we’ve steadily improved our technical skills and expanded our team. While you won’t be building these exact robots as part of our club, the examples below showcase what we’ve created over time and how far we’ve come.
2022-23 FTC Robot
Our FTC journey began with the Power Play season. At the time, our club members were just joining an existing team, and we relied heavily on commercial parts due to our limited experience. While the robot was simple, the season gave us a solid foundation in competition strategy, build techniques, and teamwork. It was an invaluable learning experience that set the stage for future growth.
2023-24 FTC Robot
For the Centerstage season, we built our first fully custom robot. Although the season didn’t go as well as we hoped, it was a major turning point for our team. We experimented with new designs and mechanisms and learned many hard lessons about iteration, reliability, and testing. Despite the challenges, the season pushed our technical skills forward and helped shape our team identity.
2024-25 FTC Robot
During the Into the Deep season, our team made a huge leap in capability. We designed and built two custom robots, both significantly more functional and refined than in previous years. With improved planning, collaboration, and execution, we qualified for the state championship with confidence. This season proved how far we’ve come—and we’re setting our sights even higher for the upcoming season.
